A blind date
Can you imagine what life would be like if you couldn’t see? At a new exhibition, you can experience the world using your other senses: touch, hearing, smell, taste and sense of balance to ‘see’ without using your eyes. Learn to understand beauty in a totally new way! Find out what things look like when you are not looking at all!
At the Invisible Exhibition, you can learn about the practical aspects of being blind. Try out useful devices that make life easier for visually-impaired people, such as talking clocks, Braille typewriters, and computer screen reading software. Have a go at crossing the road using a walking stick with a sensor. Experience what it is like to do your shopping without seeing what you are buying, or build first impressions of a person based on their voice and tone, not on their appearance.
But there is more to life than practicality! The Exhibition also allows you to explore art: touch sculptures, hear descriptions of paintings and photographs, and listen to music in complete darkness. Experience what it feels like to have dinner in the dark. Spend an evening at the Invisible Restaurant: eat in a relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by the tastes and smells of a delicious meal, and the sounds of good conversation and quiet music. Bring someone on a real blind date – and show them a world they have never ‘seen’ before.
To book tickets for the exhibition or a table for dinner (Thursdays only), call 0207714236. Allow 90 minutes for the exhibition, and around three hours for dinner.
Exhibition runs from Saturday 9th April until 3rd September.
